The telecom firm posted free cash flow of $4.2 billion in the three months ended June, compared with analysts' estimates of $3.60 billion, according to Visible Alpha. The results marked an improvement from the first quarter and showed the benefits of a cost-cutting plan that helped shave off more than $1 billion in operating expenses during the reported period through measures such as a reduction in office locations. A lower cost bill is crucial for AT&T as it needs a steady flow of cash to service its net debt of $132 billion and support a dividend that is among the highest for U.S stocks.

The German lender downgraded its outlook for the investment bank, saying it now expected revenues to be slightly lower in 2023, compared to a previous forecast for flat revenue.

The dollar was on the back foot on Monday after a miss in U.S. jobs data scaled back market expectations on how much further the Federal Reserve would need to raise rates, while focus in the Asia day was on China's inflation data release. That sent the dollar tumbling nearly 1% against a basket of currencies on Friday while the yen and sterling surged. The Japanese yen last bought 142.30 per dollar in early Asia trade on Monday, having jumped 1.4% on Friday in the wake of the greenback's decline and a slump in U.S. Treasury yields.

Villeroy, who sits on the ECB's governing council, also said that its interest rate hikes were close to topping out and that rates would be kept at elevated levels long enough for the impact to feed through the economy. The aim is to bring inflation down to the 2% target by 2025, Villeroy said at an economics conference in the southern French city of Aix-en-Province.

Expectations of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve to tame stubbornly high inflation helped push a closely watched part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve to its deepest inversion since 1981 on Monday, once again putting a spotlight on what many investors consider a time-honored recession signal. The U.S. central bank has hiked interest rates aggressively over the last year to fight inflation that hit around 40-year highs and remains above its 2% target rate. The yield curve inverts when shorter-dated Treasuries have higher returns than longer-term ones.

Coca-Cola will only see a limited impact if the world health agency classifies the artificial sweetener used in its Diet Coke, aspartame, as a possible carcinogen, thanks to its scale of production, analysts said on Friday. Such a classification of the popular additive in July by the World Health Organization's cancer research arm could cause consumers, food companies, retailers and restaurants to decide whether to fight back or find alternatives. But for Coca-Cola, whose low-calorie products accounted for a third of its total volumes sold in 2022, analysts said switching to a natural sweetener could be easier than many other companies that use aspartame.

The Supreme Court has ruled the Biden administration overstepped its authority in trying to cancel or reduce student loan debt, effectively killing the $400 billion plan, which would have canceled up to $20,000 in federal student loans for 43 million people. Of those, 20 million would have had their remaining student debt erased completely. For instance, the government has other loan forgiveness programs that are still in effect, even if Biden's plan was struck down.
